Part of the letter W chopping off ! - need help

Question

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help. I sometimes get part of the
letter W chopped off when it is an uppercase W and the first
character in a line of text. Havent had this problem for many
years. This only happens in IE (6&7)
There is a solution around it of course which is to add a
couple of pixel of padding to the text or the div but i was
wondering why it happens and if there is another fix for it so i
dont have to alter all of my padding setting throughout the site
which will mean i'll have to tweak all my grids etc.
Havent had the problem for a while now but this has raised
its head again and cant find much about it when i google for the
problem which means i would have thought its not that commen,
leading me to think its something else im doing??
Any help would be greatfully appreciated. To see it in action

Answer 1

Your "W" look fine on my computer in IE7. Could this be a
display issue on
your monitor .. or perhaps a text size setting problem in IE
on your
machine?
